Lemon-Lime Sugar Cookies

Cookies with a little “zest”!

Makes 50 cookies

4cups all-purpose flour

2teaspoons baking soda 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

1⁄2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut in 8 pieces

21⁄2 cups granulated sugar, divided

1⁄2 cup Lyle’s Golden Syrup® (may use light corn syrup)

2large eggs

zest of 1 lemon (bitter white pith removed), finely chopped

zest of 1 lime (bitter white pith removed), finely chopped

1teaspoon lemon extract

1teaspoon lime extract

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment.

Place the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Use Speed 1 to blend and aerate, 20 seconds. Reserve.

Place the butter and 2 cups of the

sugar in a large bowl. Use Speed 1 to blend, 30 seconds. Cream until light and fluffy using Speed 3, 11⁄2 minutes. Add syrup, eggs, and zests. Mix on Speed 2 for 30–40 seconds until smooth. Add extracts; mix on Speed 2 for 30 seconds.

Using 11⁄2 tablespoons of dough, shape into round balls and dip in remaining sugar to coat. (For ease and speed, use a number 40 ice cream scoop.) Arrange balls on parchment-lined baking sheet

21⁄2 inches apart. Press each ball gently with the bottom of a flat glass. Bake in preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, until crackled and just beginning to turn gold- en. Remove from oven, let cool on bak- ing sheet for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store between sheets of waxed paper in an airtight container.

Tip: to chop zest easily, place zest in work bowl of a Cuisinart® MiniPrep® Plus with 1⁄4 cup of the sugar from the recipe. Pulse on chop 10–15 times, then process continuously until finely chopped, 30–40 seconds.
